APPARATUS FOR REMOVING FAT FROM EFFLUENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1910.

Application filed February 12, 1910. Serial No. 543,453.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUnoLF SOHILLING, a subject of the German Emperor, and residing at Dahlem, near Berlin, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Removing Fatfrom Efliuents, of which the following is a specification.

H invention relates to apparatus moving fat from efiiuents.

In order to separate fat from waste waters and effluents, the upper layers containing fat have been separated from the lower layers containing sediment and the former have been subjected to treatment for removing the fat. To this end, the layers containing fat were conducted into a channel branching oil from the main channel.

The accompanying drawing shows one illustrative embodiment of my apparatus.

'In said drawing :-F igure 1 is a plan channel providedwith deflector and weir, Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the bent line a, b, c, d, in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is alike view on the line e, f, I), c, d, in Fig. 1 at a'difl'erent water-level, and Fig. 4; is a vertical longitudinal section in the plane 9, h in Fig. l.

the deflector A Referring to the drawing,

be moved by A is arranged for reand the gate or weir B can spindle C. The deflector transversely 1n the main channel E rearwardly of the discharge outlet D in the direction of flow of the eflluent. The gate B closes the part of the outlet D below defiector A.

The position the gate D is regulated corresponding to the height of the fat-containing layer in the etliuent in such manner that it is guaranteed that this layer is deflected as completely as possible into the branch channel D.

I claim 1. In apparatus for removing fat-containing layers of liquid from efliuents, the combination, with a main branch channel therefrom, of a vertica adjustable deflector arranged transversely of the main channel at the branch channel, and a vertically-adjustable ate at the junction of the branchchanne? with the'main channel closing part of the branch channel below the deflector.

2. In apparatus for removing fat-containing layers of liquid from eflluents, the combination, with a main channel having a branch channel therefrom, of a verticallyadjustable of the main channel at the branch channel, a vertically-adjustable gate at the junction of the branch channel with the main channel closing part of the branch channel below the and means for simultaneously addeflector,

of said deflector and j usting the elevation gate.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
